Are we plotting a late heist?

Would need to be a big fish plus some picks wouldn't it? As far as I can tell, we only have 2 draft picks now right? And we have to use at least 3. Bit lost among all the updated 'indicative orders' now though tbh...

    I hope it is a real big fish. Cameron, Whitfield, Finlayson....

    Otherwise, if you know how to hold em, the shuffling and dealing goes on until the draft.

    The lack of riddles this year has really been disappointing. 
    What happened to everyone on Demonland with inside knowledge and mates?

     Think you can always just upgrade rookies or use picks at the end of the draft. Salary cap is probably the bigger concern, to land someone big we'd have to trade someone out. 2 deals from nowhere in the last 24 hours of trade period - seems unlikely

    Not sure someone who got  literally 1 possession in the grand final should be someone we should be giving up a top 10 pick for??

    Yeah, we don't have to use a pick to upgrade a rookie anymore right? So technically we could draft 2 players, then just upgrade a rookie, and that counts as our 3?

    Based on our recent trade strategy perhaps they are looking at making sure we bring in two good young players this year.

    My only thought is if it is a big fish two top ten pick would have to bring back a Jeremy Cameron type but for salary we'd have to be sending a decent earner back out to make this work.

    To judge a player's worth on one game in isolation is simplistic thinking IMO.  No doubt his GF was a stinker all the same.

    It's an ugly stat that aligns with the sports trivia question that's bound to be asked in the future...

    Q/ Who kicked 3 goals in the 2019 AFL Grand Final?

    A/ GWS

    All I can say is, we better not be planning a big name trade, we better have it sorted ALREADY. If we don't use picks 3 and/or 8, or pick 8 in some combo to secure a needed gun, that has to be the stupidest trade of all time.  One first rounder for a first, second and third rounder. FFS.

    We're in the best position possible going into last day of trade period.

    Two extremely valuable picks are on the table if the right offer pops up.

    We'll be sitting back, cross-legged with cigar in mouth knowing that if nothing comes up, we go to the draft with two top 10 picks a year after making a prelim. 

    Added to that is the fact that we've addressed a problem area with the additions of Langdon and to a lesser extent Tomlinson. No longer will we have to play inside midfielders on a wing. 

    And this is all without mentioning the fact that we have a pre-season with Burgess coming up. One of the most highly respected fitness coaches around.

    I'm putting a cheeky $20 on us for top 4 next year.

    Dees.

    I think this is a more than optimistic view of our list TBH.  I can make an argument for improvement - Langdon, pre-seasons, healthy list, but I can also make an argument that we will have a similar (8th - 12th) year next year.

    Agreed, I was saying it in jest a little.

    However, if we were to trade pick 3 for Finlayson, I’d be wanting some pretty damn valuable assets back our way.

    Finlayson has a good finals series but to get 1 possession in a grand final is simply pathetic.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
